Day 3, Singapore

It was a brand new day~ We started the day with a MEL Camp briefing at SMA, before bringing them around Singapore. We also had our lunch in school. We proceeded to see the Merlion around 2pm :)

The Merlion~

Time for shopping!

i Light @ Marina Bay

It was a fun day bringing them around the town area of Singapore. They really enjoyed visiting the Merlion, Esplanade and shopping around Orchard. And we ended the day by watching the i Light show at Marina Bay. Tomorrow would be the first day of MEL Camp~

Till the next day!

Day 2, Singapore

A brand new day awaits~ It was time for some fun! We fetched them from their hotel and made our way to school to meet our Director, and have a tour around SMA. The students had a chance to visit the engine workshop and the stimulator. 

After the school tour, it was time to make our way to USS~ 

Otw to USS~

It was fun taking the different rides that everyone enjoyed! Especially the trilling roller coaster rides~ We sure had so much fun the whole day. We had lunch at the Malaysian street food, and most of them tried the authentic dishes like Penang Laksa, Fried Char Kway Teow and Chicken Rice!

Waiting for our turn!

It was a good day indeed! We headed to Seah Im Foodcourt at Habourfront for dinner.

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel as tomorrow would be a long day too~

Till the next day!

Day 1 in Singapore

The long awaited arrival has come! 

The Oshima students are finally here in Singapore~

After a whole long morning of plane rides, they have reached Singapore safely at 3.30pm on 10th March 2016. We were so excited to welcome them to our sunny island!



After waiting for the bus to their hotel, we headed to Mr Naung's place by public transport. The students were shocked by the amount of people taking the train during peak hour~

Finally it was time for the BBQ to start~ The Oshima students were able to try out Singaporean food they have not tasted before! They had satay, oath-otah, sambal stingray and a lot of other good food. Some of them had trouble adjusting to the spiciness, but it was a good experience as they found the food really oishi! :)

After the long day, we sent them back to their hotel. We would be heading to Universal Studious Singapore and sight-seeing in Sentosa the next day~ 

Til next time

Memories

Here's a video montage of our Oshima trip 2015.

Please enjoy it~

It would not be fun without my group mates who went with me. Thank you for co-operating with each other and making the trip a successful one. We learnt a lot about each other and also how beneficial the trip was for all of us. We will all miss Oshima greatly!

Til next time~

Day 7, Visit to Miyajima

Rise and shine! It was our last day here in Oshima~ One week really flew past just like that. We would be heading back to Singapore today! Our flight to Tokyo, Haneda Airport from Iwakuni Aiport would be @1830. We would reach Haneda Airport @2030,  have dinner followed by some free time til our flight to Singapore @2350~

Goodbye Oshima! 

Thank you to the crew of Oshima Maru, who were always patient and taught us well~

We woke up early for some cleaning and packing! It would be the last time we'd have breakfast at the dormitory! After coming back from breakfast, it was time to bid farewell to crew and Oshima Maru itself. We had such a great time here. We would then take a bus to Miyajima, where would visit the shrine and have some free time there!

We have reached, Miyajima~

They were dears everywhere, and we were able to pet them~

We were quite scared!

How cute~

We then walked around, visiting the different areas. We were so excited for the street food and the famous oysters! It was very fun and it was very packed with tourists all around the world~

The start!

What a view~

Tourists paying respect~

Looking out for food!

We found it~

Time for lunch!

The best oysters around :)

Phylicia with the Japanese students~

Thank you for the wonderful day our dear Japanese friends :)

It was time to make our way to Iwakuni Airport! What a wonderful it was here in Miyajima where we managed to do some shopping and have a taste of their delicious food here. It was sad that the trip has come to an end. To Iwankuni Airport we go~

Final photo together!

It was really sad to say goodbye to our Japanese students. Thank you for such warm and great hospitality throughout the entire 7 days we were here. Thank you to Dr Yoriko Ishida and Oshima NMCT for the exchange programme. Many beautiful memories were made, and we can't wait to welcome you and the students here in Singapore, next March.

Thank you for sending us off! We will meet again~

Til we meet again!

Day 6

こんにちは or Konnichiwa ( ๑॔˃̶◡ ˂̶๑॓)
It was our last day sailing on Oshima Maru~ How time flies! We woke up for the the daily morning exercise and had breakfast @0615! We had some rest time and had to report to our designated areas by 0715! We would be leaving Marugame and heading back to Oshima by 0800. We had our usual watch keeping till lunch time~

Our last time reporting for morning exercise :(

Last morning exercise~

Watckeeping before lunch!

Lunch time~

After lunch, it would be our last watch keeping :( Our training period has come to an end. It was really a  great opportunity to be given the chance to learn from the crew and students of Oshima NMCT. We have learnt so much and hope to bring back the knowledge and experience to share with our peers back in Singapore! 

To Oshima, we go!

"We are going to miss this place!"

We have finally reached Oshima! Wow, our 4 days of sailing to the different states have ended :( It was now time for cleaning and the closing ceremony. We each received a certificate for the 4 days training cruise we have attended. The certificates were given out by the Captain of Oshima Maru!

After the closing ceremony, we took some photos with the Japanese students~ We then proceed to their dormitory for dinner~ After dinner, we went to the nearby supermarket for snacks and came back to Oshima Maru for a shower and free time! We cannot believe it would be our last night here in Oshima :( We certainly did not want to leave our Japanese friends behind~

The end of the training cruise~

It was an emotional end but the time spent on Oshima maru was impactful and beneficial, not forgetting the companionship from our dear Japanese friends. Thank you so much for being such great hosts and friends :)

Beautiful sunset~

Til we meet again in the future Japan~
